Freckle Tattoos Turn Into Constellations With "AstroFrecks"

We thought we'd seen the most creative twist on fake freckles with metallic freckle tattoos, but the look just got yet another update — and this time, it's celestial. Thanks to "AstroFrecks," you can now map out constellations and astrological signs with a smattering of semi-permanent tiny dots all over your face.

Faux freckles have been having a major moment of late, even reaching permanent status when people began inking their skin with "freckle tattoos" earlier this year. According to Bustle, Michigan-based tattoo artist Jessica Knapik is now taking things one step further, giving a secret meaning to the seemingly random spots on your face. First, she maps out your star sign on your face. Then, she inks only the stars — skipping over the connecting lines — so that you're left with a secret constellation in the form of freckles.

Jessica said she uses a semi-permanent "cosmetic tattooing" method, which helps make the freckles look more like the real thing than a regular or stick-and-poke tattoo. "Cosmetic tattoo artists are trained a little more in aesthetics — beauty, face shapes, brow shapes. Cosmetic tattooing is also semi-permanent, so this won't last forever," she added. "It's perfect for freckles, because the older ones will be more faint and the newer ones will be darker, exactly like real freckles. And if you're sick of it, you just stop getting touch-ups and go back to how your face was before."

To create the out-of-this-world look, Jessica draws the constellation on her clients face with a marker, then injects the freckles wherever there's a star. She recently confirmed in her Instagram comments that the freckles do fade over time, and that she has different colored ink that can be used to match any skin tone. So far, she's only given "AstroFrecks" to one person (who's a Virgo, by the looks of it), but she hopes to do many more in the future.

Seems like these may be in your future (or at least, your Instagram feed's future.)
